"Massive Turnout in Warsaw as Opposition Rallies Before Crucial Election"

Tens of thousands of people gathered in Warsaw for an opposition rally ahead of the parliamentary election in Poland. The liberal Civic Platform (PO) party, the main opposition to the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) government, hopes the rally will galvanize voters and bring about a "big change." PO leader Donald Tusk warned that PiS could aim to take Poland out of the EU, while PiS campaigned on keeping migrants out of the country and continuing financial support for families and the elderly. The election is seen as crucial for minority and women's rights, and concerns have been raised about the erosion of democratic checks and balances under PiS rule.
